Athlete’s foot/ Tinea Pedis

Athlete’s foot/ Tinea Pedis is a skin infection usually starting between the toes or on the bottom of the feet. It is caused by fungal infection that commonly attacks the feet, because the wearing of shoes and hosiery or poor foot hygiene can fosters fungus growth.

The signs of athlete’s foot are dry scaly skin, itching, inflammation, and sometimes blisters can be found. We can help prevent infection by washing your feet daily with soap and warm water; drying carefully, especially between the toes; and changing shoes and hose regularly to decrease moisture. Our podiatrist can advise you on some topical antifungal agent or advise you on proper hosiery or footwear / insole for prevention of the fungal growth.

Fungal nails

Fungal nails or onychomycosis, is an infection underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi. When the tiny organisms take hold, the nail often becomes darker in color and smells foul. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin. The resulting thicker nails are difficult to trim and make walking painful when wearing shoes. Onychomycosis can also be accompanied by a secondary bacterial or yeast infection in or about the nail plate.

Toenail fungus is often ignored because the infection can be present for years without causing any pain. The disease is characterized by a progressive change in the texture and color of the toenail.

•     Thickening of the nail
•     Infected part of nail may become loose or separate from the nail bed
•     Nail appears to "crumble" or breakdown

Our podiatrist can help to remove the fungal part of the nails with sterilized instruments and advise you on topical anti-fungal agent to prevent the infection.

Ingrown nails

Ingrown nails are nails whose corners or sides of the nails dig painfully into the skin, often causing infection. They are frequently caused by improper nail trimming but also by shoe pressure, injury, fungus infection, heredity, and poor foot structure. Toenails should be trimmed straight across, slightly longer than the end of the toe. If the ingrown portion of the nail is painful or infected, our podiatrist may remove the affected portion; if the condition reoccurs frequently, our podiatrist may remove the ingrown nail surgically under local anaesthetic.

Corns and calluses

Corns and calluses are protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. They are caused by repeated friction and pressure from skin rubbing against bony areas or ill-fitting shoes. Corns and calluses can be found on the toes and soles of the feet. They are generally symptoms of underlying foot disorders. The friction and pressure can be relieved by padding or orthotics on the affected areas. Our podiatrist can remove the corns and calluses with sterialised instrument and assess the cause of the pressure lesions and advise you on proper footwear and inserts.
